sions of lawmakers and government agencies, as well as the reality of a slumping economy and job losses, associations more than ever before are looking for answers to complex questions. Panel members will offer answers to these new questions and insight to the direction associations are heading. Associations and the Law – A Panel Discussion Condominium law is a complicated process of ever-changing statutes, court rulings and precedent. From recent court decisions that make associations liable for all snow and ice accumulations to a newly enacted law that gives flexibility to calculating percentage interest, boards are confronted with the challenge of understanding and interpreting a shifting legal environment. This panel of seasoned condominium attorneys will address the technicalities of the law and explain what associations should do in everyday situations. With the exception of the Condo Board Member Boot Camp, the exhibit hall and all programs are open and free to attendees. Condo Board Member Boot Camp Advance Registration & Fee Required (CAI Members: $75/Nonmembers: $135) Providing a comprehensive overview of condominium operations, as well as the board’s role and responsibility, this full-day program will answer the questions of new board members, as well as seasoned volunteers.
